~ A few hundred metres up the track, but not visible from it, is another alignment, connected perhaps with a possible tumulus about 100m E of the track, of four stones, grooved on top, l00cm apart, and respectively 330, 275, 240 and 210cm high. About 90m away, along the same axis in a westerly direction (i.e. towards the track) is a 5th stone just over 150cm high. Close to the E end of the alignment is a 5-stone axial-stone circle, whose 2 portal stones are still visible; 2 other stones are incorporated in a field fence, and one stone is missing. S of the tumulus is an isolated standing stone 1.5m high.
~ North of the second alignment, farther up the hill, is a third.
~ 800 metres (½ mile) N, just S of the summit of Carriganirtane hill, in Carriganirtane is a fine low wedge-tomb nearly 4 metres long with 3 roof stones and some double-walling on both sides.
~ On the W side of the track leading up to Cabragh and Carriganirtane, in the townland of Clashmaguire can be seen a pair of standing stones which seem to fit into the category of 'male-and-female'.
